elderberry extract

The most common request is a standardized extract with anthocyanin levels between 13% and 25%, as measured by UV spectroscopy. We supply to your target specification, not a “one-size-fits-all” product, and each batch ships with a third-party certificate of analysis confirming the exact value.

We use low-temperature spray drying onto a specific maltodextrin carrier, which keeps the powder hygroscopicity low. Packed in vacuum-sealed, aluminum-laminated bags with desiccant inside HDPE drums, the extract maintains flowability and anthocyanin content for at least 24 months under cool, dry storage.

Yes, our spray-dried powder dissolves easily in water or syrup bases without gritty sediment. For syrups, you’d typically pre-blend the extract with a small portion of warm water before adding it to the bulk. The anthocyanins remain stable in acidic environments like syrups (pH 3.5-4.5), especially if you avoid prolonged heat exposure.

We offer organic-certified batches against specific orders, with the required NOP or EU organic certification. Lead time is generally a few weeks longer due to documentation, but the base material meets the same quality and safety parameters as our conventional extract.

Every delivery includes a COA detailing anthocyanin percentage, heavy metals, microbial limits, and residual solvents. Additional documents—like allergen statements, GMO-free declarations, or batch traceability reports—are provided as needed. Our facility operates under GMP, HACCP, and BRC certifications, so you’ll have the full audit trail.
